Stop in, look around, have a drink and crank some tunes. I'll be posting some songs ripped from records, some out of print and hard to find stuff, some songs by artists you should be listening to, and a few mixes here and there.

Coming Soon

Check The Cool Wax Vol. 1. Because I've been on vacation and moving for a few weeks now, I haven't had time to rip new records. This has gave me time to whip up my first Check The Cool Wax mix though. I'm just putting on the finishing touches right now. Look for it by the end of the week. It will all be music that is already on this site, but it will be zipped into a nice little bundle with front and back cd and label artwork.

Beach Party Soundtrack

The original beach movie that started them all. Frankie, Annette and gang only want to hang at the beach, get it on, and dance. Bob Cummings playing a professor wants to expose the kids as deviants but ends up falling in love. Morey Amsterdam plays a beatnik and Vincent Price shows briefly as Big Daddy. Of course Harvey Lembeck and his gang are here. Dick Dale and the Del-Tones show up and play some tunes. The movie is pure fluff and I love it.

FRANKIE AVALON AND ANNETTE FUNICELLO :: BEACH PARTY

DICK DALE AND THE DEL-TONES :: SWINGIN' AND A-SURFIN'

DICK DALE AND THE DEL-TONES :: SECRET SURFING SPOT

DICK DALE :: BONGOS AND POETRY

DORTHY MALONE :: PROMISE ME ANYTHING (GIVE ME LOVE)

ANNETTE FUNICELLO :: TREAT HIM NICELY

FRANKIE AVALON :: DON'T STOP NOW

FRANKIE AVALON, ANNETTE FUNICELLO AND CAST :: END MEDLEY

Bikini Beach Soundtrack

Here is the next of my beach movie soundtrack DVD rips. It's Bikini Beach. I really like this movie. It might be my favorite of the bunch. It has surf. It has drag. It has Frankie Avalon playing two rolls. He plays an English pop star called the Potato Bug. It also has Candy Johnson doing her crazy dance and knocking guys off of their surf boards.




FRANKIE AVALON, ANNETTE FUNICELLO & CAST :: BIKINI BEACH

DONNA LOREN :: LOVE'S A SECRET WEAPON

FRANKIE AVALON :: GIMMIE YOUR LOVE

FRANKIE AVALON :: HOW ABOUT THAT

ANNETTE FUNICELLO :: THIS TIME IT'S LOVE

LITTLE STEVIE WONDER :: HAPPY FEELING (DANCE AND SHOUT)

THE PYRAMIDS :: RECORD RUN

THE EXCITERS BAND :: GOT YOU WHERE I WANT YOU

FRANKIE AVALON & ANNETTE FUNICELLO :: BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU

We're Movin' On Up!















OK. So I went straight from vacation into moving to a new house. Talk about a 180! I'm sure this will keep me busy for another week. I hope to have more music posted soon. Thanks for checking back.
